      this is actually deeply irritating to me ive worked at lots of tech companies large and small in data/ml roles you have to understand every one of them is held together with the equivalent of duct tape and fortuitously growing barnacles, no one understands how the systems workhttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1106374706674847745 …

      another team I worked on had a production pipeline that consisted of a bunch of R scripts with hard-coded dates that had to be manually updated every month and run in a particular order while manually moving files around this was at a company youve heard of
